Cino Heroica 2015

[choke]

This was my second Cino. I thought that the dirt was a lot rougher than last year while the gravel wasn't as bad. Forum members Northbend, Whatwolf and MRB were also in attendance.

Lunch on Sat was on private property with an awesome waterfall for a backdrop.

On Monday I drove out to Glacier as I hadn't been there. I found a local to pose for a pic.

Thanks for the pics.

I'll be joining you guys on these after I retire.

Tough to do during the school year.

I think the video shows how beautiful Cino is. Not seen in it are the hot springs you soak in after day one is done or the old cycling movies shown on the lawn of Alamedas resort after darkness settles in. There are so many special elements to Cino that draw me in each year.

ah man, this looks like a lot of fun!

[tiretrax]

That was awesome. I've wanted to ride it for a long time. Next year may be possible.

Thanks for sharing the cool pics and congrats on what looks like a good time had. Even the goat looks happy.

Really want to do this ride.

How old, again, does your equipment have to be?

Uh, your bike, I mean. The rest of my equipment is plennn-ty old enough.

H'mmm... my bike-stuff-buying has been tapering off, maybe a Cino bike will be just the thing to revitalize it...

It's my favorite ride by far....two days of bikes, great people, good food, drinks and no idea about what's happening in the outside world. I'll see you in about 6 weeks. :)

What is a Heroic bike? Your bike must have at least three of the following characteristics to be considered Heroic:

Steel frame
A frame made in 1987 or earlier
Non-indexed shifting
Old style clip pedals and straps
Single speed
Downtube shift levers
Tubular tires
Fixed gear

Things that could disqualify you from being heroic, even if you have three of the above:

suspension forks
carbon frame



Thanks for the link. I'll start shopping right away!
